What are the classroom rules? #1: Be respectful Of classmates, teachers, property, etc DO get to know one another DO keep an open mind DO take care of your textbook, work area, classroom, etc DO be quiet when someone else is speaking Including teacher and classmates DO NOT talk during lectures/instruction/etc No writing on desk, no talking when another is talking, raise hands unless asked for unison answer There will be sensitive issues discussed and so it is important to be respectful of other people’s life experiences and beliefs
